Real Relationships

In Week 1 of our new sermon series, The Real Thing, we explore Jesus’ words in John 15 where he calls his followers friends—not servants. In a world full of filters, fake images, and shallow connections, this message asks a simple but challenging question: what does a real relationship actually look like? Jesus shows us that authentic friendships are built through shared experiences, intentional commitment, and Christ-centered love. This sermon invites us to examine our own relationships, consider who we can truly count on, and reflect on what it means to be a real friend in return. If you’re longing for deeper, more genuine connections with God and others, this message is for you.
